Here's Why This Porsche 550 Spyder 1:8 Scale Model Costs $30,000

A limited-run model, this 550 Spyder by the Amalgam Collection has a Hollywood connection with a fascinating story

Now, while I’m a man of simple pleasures, I have my indulgences and one of them happens to be automotive scale models. You know the little plastic and metal things that sit on your desk, gathering dust and occasionally falling victim to the vacuum cleaner. Anyway, recently, I acquired a 1:18 scale model of the Porsche 550 Spyder (my fourth) and it’s quite decent. Nicely painted in a rather understated shade of silver, doors, hood, and engine cover that, and even the motor look vaguely convincing. Cost me about fifty bucks. Not bad value, you might think. But then I stumbled upon this… this… thing from the Amalgam Collection that costs $30,000 and I found myself compelled to dig deeper into why the sky-high price tag.

Beyond Cars & Coffee at your local auto club, if you are an ardent Porsche fan, I believe that there are a couple of key global venues, shows, and events that you must attend at least once in your lifetime. Think Luftgekühlt, and Rennsport Reunion; the kind of shows that are all about pure air-cooled bliss, historic racing heaven, and a deep dive into Porsche’s DNA. While not exclusive to Porsche, events like the Goodwood Festival of Speed and 24 Hours of Le Mans allow you to witness some of the German brand’s most noteworthy cars up close in all their glory.
